    According to stat sites he was our second best player last season, now a European champion, but many (on here especially) wouldn't have him in our team.

    He was particularly poor against Watford, but I thought he was great today. Other than some unnecessary lunging challenges in the box early doors, he was part of a solid defensive display

    I think that we will see us play like this away from home a lot this season. We cannot afford to expend the energy of a Klopp or Pochettino pressing game when we have so many games, therefore we make ourselves tough to break down and then counter while trying to tire the opposition by retaining possession. Once we are in the lead and space opens up we can flourish and look dangerous with pace on the counter.

    The club should get Good Ol' JR to do in-house commentary on our games.

    Couldn't have put it better myself. There are some people that don't like Americanisms but you can't argue with that.

    Umm....fabulous win and all that, and I get that it's fun to read a thread knowing the result, but let's not get carried away - we were pretty poor for the majority of the first half. Then we upped a few gears second half (good team talk from Puel, and the goal of course helped as it made WH open up a bit).

    Not taking anything away from the boys here, but just not pretending we were somehow brilliant for the whole game either (and I'm a happy clapper!)

    Sorry if that sounds negative, it's not meant to, just it really was a game of two halves and there were many better performances second half than first - notably Cedric and Pierre.

    Not a single Saint in Garth Crooks Team of who scored at the weekend. Are Saints a myth of the space time continuum that have to be seen to be believed in?

    Joke of a team. Comprised entirely of 'top 6' players. Charlie Austin won that match single-handedly for us with 2 superb touches, what more must he do to get into Crooks' team?! Good thing he probably couldn't care less.

    I totally agree. Earlier I commented that we have a famtastic system for leading, but it's a bit dicey when things are level. However, after we took the lead we were really excellent.

    We're always so much better in the second half though, have been for a few seasons now. Its got to the point where I'm not even worried if it's 0-0 at HT because I know we'll come out and perform in the second half!
